Maybe I should rephrase what I mean. There really is no comparison, between 556ft/lbs vs 470 ft/lbs, especially for a heaver car. But the LS7 has not changed since '06. If they had an UPDATED LS7 making 550+ THEN I would rather have an NA 427 over a supercharged 6.2. But the way things are right now, yes the LSA would be the better choice. Actually RIGHT NOW the LSA would be the better choice for the Zo6 too! I have no idea why they have not put any work into the LS7 in the last SEVEN YEARS!
